Steps:
- Place the whole cactus paddles, onion and garlic in a large pot with water to cover and salt to taste.
- Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes, or until the nopales are tender but still firm.
- Drain and rinse.
- Starting at the wide, curved end, carefully slice each paddle horizontally, as if butterflying a chop for stuffing.
- Do not cut all the way through to the narrow end (the thicker part where the pad is attached to the main plant) but leave approximately 1 1/2" uncut.
- Place a slice of cheese between the two sections and press flat.
- Dredge the paddles in flour.
- Beat egg whites until they form stiff peaks, and fold in the lightly beaten egg yolks.
- Pour enough oil into large skillet so that it comes up at least 1/2 inch.
- Heat the oil until sizzling hot.
- Dip the stuffed nopales in the egg batter to coat and fry in the hot oil until golden brown on each side.
- Serve immediately with red salsa.
